John 20:19-31
19 In the evening of that same day, the first day of the week, the
doors were closed in the room where the disciples were, for fear of
the Jews. Jesus came and stood among them and said to them,
‘Peace be with you,’ 20 and, after saying this, he showed
them his hands and his side. The disciples rejoiced at seeing the
Lord, 21 and he said to them again, ‘Peace be with you.
‘As the Father has sent me,
so am I sending you.’
22 After saying this he breathe on them and said:
‘Receive the Holy Spirit.
23 If you forgive anyone’s sins,
they are forgiven;
if you retain anyone’s sins,
they are retained.’
24 Thomas, called the Twin, who was one of the Twelve, was not
with them when Jesus came. 25 So the other disciples said to him,
‘We have seen the Lord,’ but he answered, ‘Unless I see in his hands
the mark of the nails and put my finger in the mark of the nails, and
my hand into his side, I will not believe.’ 26 Eight days later the
disciples were in the house again and Thomas was with them.
Although the doors were closed, Jesus came and stood among them
and said, ‘Peace be with you.’ 27 Then he said to Thomas, ‘Put your
21finger here, and see my hands. Reach out your hand and put it in my
side. Do not doubt but believe.’ 28 Thomas replied, ‘My Lord and
my God!’f 29 Jesus said to him:
‘Do you believe because you have seen me?
Blessed are those who have not seen and yet have come to believe.’g
30 Jesus did many other signs in the sight of the disciples,
which are not written in this book. 31 These are written so that you
may believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, and that by
believing you may have life in his name.
